The story in the game is widely criticized for being poorly constructed, with many users suspecting it to be AI-generated and lacking coherence. Players feel that the narrative adds little to the overall experience, with repetitive mission types and frustrating progression overshadowing any potential enjoyment. Overall, the consensus is that the game would benefit from removing the story altogether if it cannot be improved.
- “I had fun for the first 3 story worlds, and then realized the rest would just be more of the same.”
- “The mission types are laughably similar to each other, with very little variety, and the core gameplay never takes off in any of the levels because they are just far too short for you to become powerful enough to have fun.”
- “Edit: after playing through more, I'm pretty certain the story is AI generated.”
- “This game doesn't even really need a story, and I'd actually recommend removing it if the creator isn't going to make sure the words are even used right or that one thing flows from another.”
- “Along with painfully bad story and narration, that adds nothing to the game.”
